Abstract Na 1/2 Bi TiO 3 (NBT) based ceramics are amongst the most promising lead‐free ferroelectric materials. It was expected that defect chemistry and effect of doping NBT would be similar to observed for lead materials, however, acceptor does not hardening. Instead, high oxygen ionic conductivity is induced. Nevertheless, solid solutions with BaTiO (BT), which more relevant respect applications, such a drastic change electrical properties has been so far. To rationalize difference in...

Abstract Dielectric ceramics with both excellent energy storage and optical transmittance have attracted much attention in recent years. However, the transparent Pb‐free energy‐storage were rare reported. In this work, we prepared relaxor ferroelectric (1 − x )Bi 0.5 Na TiO 3 – NaNbO (BNT– NN) by conventional solid‐state reaction method. We find NN‐doping can enhance polarization breakdown strength of BNT suppressing grain growth restrained reduction Ti 4+ to 3+ . As a result, high...
